With rather odd timing, Everton published their 2016/17 Annual Report & Accounts on the weekend immediately before Christmas resulting in almost no press comment. I do hope that the Annual General Meeting […]
In the first full financial year since Farhad Moshiri’s acquisition of 49.9% of Everton Football Club, the club has published the financial results for the financial year to 31st May 2017. This […]
The repair of the balance sheet was wholly necessary, and as Moshiri said at the last AGM “We needed a strong balance sheet, so I paid off the debts. We are now very flexible financially”.
I’ve done this a couple of times, the first going all the way back to May 2016, but with the prospects of news about the stadium at Bramley Moore, it’s interesting to […]
To some extent lost in the maelstrom that is Everton’s pursuit of a new manager and another appalling performance in the Europa League, Everton announced the exchanging of contracts between Everton Stadium Development […]
It has been commonly accepted by almost all parties that since the start of the Premier League Everton’s financial performance has lagged that of its one-time peers. Before doing the research I […]
Paradise Lost? This evening the BBC investigative programme “Panorama” ran the first of two episodes looking at offshore finance, in particular the so-called “Paradise Papers”. The programme spends a considerable amount of […]
There’s been much talk about Everton since Moshiri acquired his 49.9% stake in February 2016, yet communications from Everton have been inconsistent and incomplete, especially in recent times. The question must be […]
Going to attempt the impossible here. Make an article on the valuation methods of football clubs interesting. It’s good background before looking at the value of Moshiri’s partial acquisition of Everton. I […]
Far from reducing the tension around Finch Farm, or the executive offices at Goodison Park, plus of course, offices in London and Monaco, the decision to fire Ronald Koeman less than half […]
In our most recent #EvertonBusinessMatters podcast we looked at the commercial performance of Everton relative to the 6 clubs (our peer group) currently dominating the financial and footballing tables. In the podcast we […]
Much has been written and spoken about recently on the attempt by the “big 6” to grab more of the seemingly ever increasing broadcasting revenues paid to the Premier league clubs. […]
On 29th September Arseblog ran a story claiming that Kroenke (the 67% shareholder of Arsenal) had made a bid to acquire Usmanov’s 30.04%. Given I’ve consistently held the view that Usmanov will […]
By FootballBusinessMatters I guess one of the effects of having 3 year cycles for broadcasting rights contracts is that no sooner is one cycle in place then the games start for the next. […]
We’re 19 months into the Moshiri era. In that time, we’ve seen him buy 49.9% of the club’s shares, have an option to buy another 23-24%, he’s repaired the balance sheet, […]
I suppose this could have been written at any time over the last 20 years, but I’d like to examine the relationship between the club, the board and shareholders. The reason for […]
Who will be financing the Bramley Moore Stadium development? Bear with me on this article. It’s a little technical, but hopefully written in an understandable manner – it draws conclusions from what […]
This evening the Liverpool Echo broke news that Everton under the direction no doubt of Moshiri and Ryazanstev, have negotiated a £60 million credit facility for three years with ICBC Bank. ICBC […]
Shirt manufacturer deals are big business, and highly topical with the new Chelsea Nike deal starting today, as indeed is the new Spurs’ Nike deal. Everton are contracted to Umbro until […]
